I am a FACS teacher at Fern Ridge High School. I am very creative and have a degree in Environmental Biology. My main interests are anything with cooking, sewing, art, nature, horticulture, or anything else involving hands-on creativity. I am working for Community Ed because I want to expand my work as an educator on various different topics and skills.
